I thought so too, at first. The last game I spent any time on was Borderlands 3, and before that, Destinty. Story-oriented FPS was my bag, baby. Then I watched a few videos called [Let's Play Factorio,](https://diode.zone/w/p/36k4bJzMFNJUro9sFcG3dX?playlistPositi...) posted to diode.zone by sexy_peach@feddit.de; i started watching around episode 20 or so. . It's absolutely a resource-management game, but I love it. I think because there's a little pressure, but not much, and there's a goal (build up enough industry to support building a spaceship to escape the planet you crash-landed on). But the interesting thing for me is that there are many paths you can take to achieve your goal. It's not difficult to manage, per se, and there are many automation tools, and much attention to reducing inventory management fussiness.

Anyway, that's all to say I'm an FPS person, but this game has me hooked. The demo is free to play; I don't know how far you can get with the free version, because I bought it as soon as I was done with the tutorial. But the only thing you have to lose is your time.

Wouldn't this just make the failures more mysterious and harder to track down for users? Failing sometimes for no reason that's obvious or apparent to end users is worse than always failing, IMO.

E.g.: source-based packages on distributions where users may not be Go programmers, or even non-programmers, will compile and install Go software where some nested library dependency is on sr.ht. These packages will now fail and, sadly, this is going to cause widespread disruption. I think it'd be worse if those failures only happened occasionally, and not reliably repeatably.

Whether Drew's right or wrong, this is disappointing. At the very least, it's going to make recommending Sourcehut as an alternative to Github harder to justify.

This is really unfortunate, especially as sr.ht isn't free (any longer). As far as I know, it's the only remaining managed source hosting/CI option for Mercurial users.

What a depressing way to start out 2023.
